• The Striped Room

    The Striped Room

    £1,200

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modern still life painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Bengt Orup (1916–1996), whose works are held in major international collections including Moderna Museet and National Museum in Stockholm, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Tessin Institute in Paris, and many more.

    The composition presents two sculptural black vessels arranged before a window. One holds a radiant sunflower rendered in a bold, simplified form, while the other cradles stylised fruit, depicted as faceted geometric shapes. Through the window behind them, a small red and green landscape appear, adding a quiet narrative element that contrasts with the graphic interior setting. Framing the scene are striking red-and-white horizontal stripes, creating a rhythmic backdrop that energises the composition and draws the eye inward.

    Orup’s modernist approach reduces objects to strong geometric silhouettes and carefully balanced shapes. The palette is vivid yet controlled: deep black vessels anchor the composition against bright sunflower yellow, warm reds, fresh greens and cool greys. Brushstrokes are deliberate and confident, with smooth, flat planes of colour and subtle texture that emphasise clarity, structure and design.

    The result is a playful yet sophisticated still life that merges interior, landscape and abstraction which are hallmarks of Orup’s distinctive mid-century visual language.

    This oil on board is presented in a warm gilt wooden frame with an inner border, which beautifully complements the painting’s bold palette. The painting has some light craquelure present to its paint surface, but it is very stable and consistent with the age of the work, and does not detract from the overall visual appeal.

  • Lavender & Fruit

    Lavender & Fruit

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A joyful radiant mid-century interior still life that captures a sunlit window scene in full bloom, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a tall turquoise glass jug brims with freshly cut lavender, its lilac blossoms arching gently outward. Resting beside it on the windowsill are three ripe fruit, their warm red and golden tones offering a rich counterpoint to the cool palette that surrounds them. Beyond the glass, lush greenery presses against the pane, suggesting a garden just beyond the interior space.

    Executed in a lively, expressive mid-century style, the forms are loosely defined yet confidently structured, with simplified shapes and a focus on colour harmony over strict realism. The vertical and horizontal lines of the window frame anchor the scene, creating a subtle geometric structure within the organic abundance of foliage and flowers.

    The colour palette is fresh and invigorating. Layers of turquoise, teal and aqua dominate the setting, punctuated by flashes of lemon yellow and spring green in the background foliage. The lavender blooms are rendered in soft purples, dusty pinks and touches of white, while the fruit introduce warmth through saturated reds and amber highlights. This interplay of cool and warm tones gives the painting a dynamic, sunlit energy.

    Brushstrokes are bold, textured and gestural, applied with visible confidence. Thick impasto passages define the petals and leaves, while broader, sweeping strokes animate the background. The paint surface has a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and enhance the sense of immediacy and movement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Reclining Figure on Rug

    Reclining Figure on Rug

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century figurative composition that presents a reclining nude stretched languidly across a rug with vivid blue foliage, executed in watercolour onto paper and framed behind glass.

    The figure is simplified yet sensuous, her body rendered in soft, flowing contours that emphasise volume and repose rather than anatomical precision. She rests against a boldly divided backdrop, saturated red to one side and an expanse of blue to the other, creating a dynamic, modernist tension between figure and space.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century approach: flattened perspective, expressive simplification, and an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The body is articulated through translucent washes of warm peach, apricot, and blush tones, allowing the underpainting and brush movement to remain visible. Shadows are suggested rather than defined, giving the figure a softness that feels intimate and atmospheric.

    The surrounding, painted in rhythmic strokes of cerulean and turquoise, forms a decorative, almost pattern-like base. These repeated leaf motifs introduce movement and contrast, their cool tones heightening the warmth of the nude figure. The brushwork throughout is loose and confident – gestural in the background, more fluid and diluted across the body lending the piece an immediacy and painterly charm.

    Overall, the work balances bold colour blocking with gentle figuration, embodying the modern aesthetic characteristic of mid-century figurative painting.

    This watercolour on paper is framed behind glass and presented in a complementary gilt frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Patience of Form

    The Patience of Form

    £895

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a stylised female nude seated in a contemplative pose,  executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The figure is simplified into soft, sculptural forms, her facial features intentionally omitted, allowing the focus to rest on shape, balance and presence rather than identity. One arm bends gently at the elbow, while the body folds into itself with an elegant rhythm, creating a quiet tension between strength and vulnerability.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the work embraces abstraction without fully abandoning figuration. The anatomy is reduced to rounded, almost cubist volumes, with limbs and torso articulated through blocks of colour rather than strict line. The proportions are subtly exaggerated, particularly in the thighs and hips, giving the composition a grounded, monumental quality despite its intimate scale.

    The palette is cool and harmonious, dominated by muted blues, soft greys and chalky whites. Gentle blush pinks and earthy browns warm the lower half of the figure, while small accents of deeper blue and rust add visual punctuation. The pale, textured background enhances the sense of stillness, allowing the figure to emerge almost like a fresco against a washed wall.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Loose, visible strokes define contour and volume, with areas of dry-brushed texture that lend the surface a tactile, slightly weathered character. Edges remain soft rather than sharply delineated, reinforcing the painting’s quiet, introspective mood.

    This large oil on canvas is well presented in a wide-profile wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs. 

    Size: 105 x 60.5 cm (including frame)

  • Where the Sky Rests

    Where the Sky Rests

    £810

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century modern landscape depicting a sparse rural settlement set beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two low, dark-roofed cottages sit quietly along the horizon line, their whitewashed walls rendered in simplified, almost geometric forms. A solitary vertical pole punctuates the composition, while angular planes of earth in the foreground lead the eye gently inward, suggesting embankments or cultivated land.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition embraces minimalism and balance. The buildings are reduced to essential shapes, their proportions slightly flattened, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Space is expressed through broad horizontal bands – sky, land, and foreground – rather than through intricate detail, giving the work its serene, architectural clarity.

    The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by soft sand tones and deep browns. The sky is a subtle wash of pale grey with faint hints of green and blue, lending the scene a quiet, overcast luminosity. Dark charcoal accents in the rooftops and vertical elements provide contrast and anchor the composition.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint that emphasise shape over texture. Areas of soft blending in the sky contrast with the more defined, deliberate edges of the buildings and landforms. The overall effect is one of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is well presented in a well-suited wood frame with a grey-brown finish and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size: 79 x 89 cm (including frame)

  • Nude in Soft Light

    Nude in Soft Light

    £845

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed expressive mid-century figurative painting that presents a standing female nude, captured in a moment of quiet composure, painted in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The figure stands upright, one arm gently extended to rest upon a vertical form while the other arm falls loosely by her side. Her face is intentionally softened and undefined, directing attention instead to posture, gesture, and the interplay of light across the body.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances figuration with abstraction. The body is constructed through confident, sculptural brushwork: planes of brown, sand, olive, and muted rose build form through tonal shifts rather than precise line. The artist uses broad, directional strokes that remain visible and tactile, giving the surface a sense of movement and immediacy.

    The palette is earthy and restrained: warm flesh tones contrast against a cool, chalky white background layered with subtle greys and hints of pale blue. The isolated blue vertical accent at the left provides a visual counterweight and anchors the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and gestural, applied with a loaded brush in sweeping, confident passes. Areas of thicker impasto sit alongside thinner, scumbled layers, creating depth and texture. The figure’s contours are suggested rather than strictly defined, lending the work a softness and modern elegance typical of mid-century European studio practice.

    The overall effect is contemplative and quietly powerful, a study in form, balance, and painterly restraint.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quiet Farmstead

    Quiet Farmstead

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and serene mid-century landscape that captures a rural farmstead in its most distilled and poetic form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three angular barns sit low against an expansive, powder-blue sky, their pitched roofs forming a rhythmic sequence of geometric silhouettes. Bare trees rise slender and vertical, softening the strong triangular architecture and anchoring the composition in a quiet seasonal stillness.

    Rendered in a restrained, modernist style, the painting balances abstraction and representation. The barns are simplified into bold planes of colour, while hedgerows and fields are reduced to blocks of earthy brown and moss green. The pale turquoise sky provides a luminous backdrop, creating a gentle contrast against the grounded, darker foreground.

    Brushstrokes are confident. Broad, flat applications of paint define the land and sky, while looser, slightly feathered strokes articulate the trees and subtle shifts in the terrain. The paint handling is matte and softly textured, allowing the composition’s geometry and colour relationships to take precedence over detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner white and silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Each painting feels intimate and storytelling, like visual postcards capturing everyday moments in quaint rural and coastal areas.

  • The Figs

    The Figs

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poised mid-century still life that presents a quietly architectural composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This composition centres on three deep green figs resting in a shallow tray. Behind them rises a stylised facade, a simplified portico with an arched window and triangular pediment rendered in flattened planes of muted blush, sage and cream.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century sensibility: pared back, structured, and contemplative. Forms are simplified into essential shapes of ovals, triangles, rectangles, and the architectural backdrop introduces a sense of order and symmetry, contrasting beautifully with the organic curves of the figs.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. Moss greens and olive tones dominate the fruit, offset by chalky whites, dusty rose, pale yellow and cool grey-blues in the surrounding space. Light appears to enter from the side, casting gentle shadows that anchor the composition and add depth without disrupting its calm balance.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, with a slightly dry, textured application that allows the canvas weave to subtly show through. The paint is layered in broad, deliberate strokes – particularly in the background – while the figs themselves are modelled with softer blending, giving them a quiet solidity and presence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary  wide profile gilt frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Winter Light

    Winter Light

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century landscape that captures the stillness of a winter marsh, where a broad expanse of pale water or frost-covered ground stretches across the foreground, reflecting the muted sky above, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender, leafless trees rise along the water’s edge, their dark trunks and branches creating elegant vertical accents against the open, horizontal sweep of the landscape. In the distance, softened forms of woodland and low terrain recede into shadow, lending the scene a quiet sense of depth and solitude.

    The painting is rendered in a confident, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modernist landscapes. The artist has used loose, gestural brushwork to suggest rather than define, allowing texture and movement to convey atmosphere. The surface reveals thickly applied passages of paint in the foreground, where creamy whites, pale greys, and soft blues evoke frost, water, or snow. These cooler tones are subtly enlivened by touches of ochre, rust, and mossy green, suggesting winter grasses and reeds catching the last warmth of the season.

    The sky is painted in layered shades of muted blue and grey, applied in broad, sweeping strokes that create a soft, overcast luminosity. The trees are articulated with darker, more deliberate lines, their vertical rhythm grounding the composition and framing the open space beyond. Overall, the painting balances abstraction and representation, capturing not just the physical landscape, but its mood: serene, introspective, and quietly poetic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited linen lined wood frame that complements atmospheric palette beautifully. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the inner frame, and a small area of loss to the bottom right corner of the outer frame, consistent with age, but this does not detract from the overall appearance.

  • Pear Arrangement

    Pear Arrangement

    £945

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and characterful interior still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet very effective in its composition, this still life presents a carefully arranged grouping of pears, a ceramic vessel, and a jug rendered with clarity, charm, and a distinctly modern sensibility. The composition centres on two luminous green pears nestled in a scalloped turquoise bowl, accompanied by a fourth pear in the foreground and a halved pear resting nearby. To the right, a sculptural brown jug anchors the scene with a grounded solidity, while a single stylised leaf rises elegantly from a pear against a radiant golden backdrop, dotted with rhythmic points of light.

    The artist has employed a flattened perspective, where spatial depth is secondary to shape, balance, and decorative harmony. Forms are simplified into bold silhouettes and geometric masses, giving each object a sculptural presence. The background is thoughtfully divided into zones of warm gold, soft neutral tones, and rich terracotta red, creating a structured yet lively interplay between colour fields.

    The palette is vibrant yet controlled, featuring fresh green pears contrasted against a warm, earthy table surface and a glowing mustard-gold backdrop. The cool turquoise of the bowl provides a refreshing counterpoint, while the deep brown jug introduces tonal weight and balance. The dotted golden background adds a playful, almost textile-like quality, enhancing the painting’s decorative appeal.

    Executed in tempera, the brushwork is smooth and precise, with a matte, velvety surface typical of the medium. Edges are clean and deliberate, emphasising contour and form rather than painterly gesture. Subtle tonal variations within the pears and jug provide volume without disrupting the overall graphic clarity. The result is a work that feels both intimate and confidently composed – celebrating everyday objects through the lens of mid-century design, where simplicity, colour, and form coexist in harmonious balance.

    This tempera on board is presented in a beautifully complementary gilt frame with a deep profile, and with a striking green velvet inner border that creates a strong visual contrast. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks present to its top edge as shown.

  • Sushi & Sake

    Sushi & Sake

    £585

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking contemporary painting that presents a vibrant Japanese-themed still life celebrating the ritual of sushi and sake, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2003.

    Four boldly coloured fish are arranged in a neat horizontal line across a yellow tabletop, evoking the careful presentation of sushi before it is served. They are accompanied by a sake bottle, matching cups, chopsticks, and a small dish of rice, creating a scene that feels ceremonial, abundant, and quietly joyful.

    The composition draws on Japanese visual traditions while remaining distinctly modern. Forms are simplified and stylised, with a graphic clarity that recalls both folk art and mid-century illustration. Decorative foliage frames the scene, adding movement and balance while subtly referencing nature.

    The colour palette is striking and playful. Rich reds, cobalt blue, deep forest green, and warm golden yellow are set against a soft sky-blue background and a creamy, sunlit tabletop. The high-contrast colours give the work a lively, contemporary energy, while black and white accents ground the composition and provide visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Fine line details and dotted highlights bring gentle depth and refinement to the surface without breaking the clean, graphic quality of the work. The overall effect is bold yet harmonious, a modern homage to Japanese dining culture, celebration, and shared moments at the table.

    This artwork on canvas is housed in a complementary white floater frame. The painting has some very minor surface marks that are commensurate with age and do not detract from the overall composition.

    Size:  79 x 109 cm (including frame)

  • The Fireplace

    The Fireplace

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century interior painting that captures the serene presence of a masonry fireplace, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The fireplace stands centrally, its sculptural form softened by rounded contours and pale plaster surfaces, suggesting both warmth and architectural dignity. To the left, an open doorway reveals a glimpse of an adjoining room. A narrow woven runner stretches across the floor, guiding the eye horizontally and grounding the composition in the rhythm of everyday life. Simple fireplace tools rest quietly beside the hearth, reinforcing the intimate domestic atmosphere.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist balances representation with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified yet retain their essence, allowing structure and light to take precedence over intricate detail. The composition feels calm and deliberate, with an emphasis on spatial harmony and gentle geometry.

    The colour palette is soft and muted, composed of chalky whites, warm creams, pale sage greens, and cool greys, accented by dusty blues and understated earthy browns within the firebox. These tones create a tranquil, contemplative mood, evoking diffused daylight and the quiet comfort of interior spaces during colder seasons.

    Brushstrokes are visible and tactile, applied with a confident yet delicate hand. The paint surface reveals subtle layering, with thin washes and lightly textured passages that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge. Edges are softly blended rather than sharply defined, lending the work a dreamlike softness. The artist’s handling of light and form conveys both immediacy and restraints.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

  • The Laundry Room

    The Laundry Room

    £625

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

    Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

    The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white wooden frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Waiting Place

    The Waiting Place

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a gathering of elongated figures arranged in quiet proximity, executed in oil onto board.

    The forms appear engaged in a shared moment: perhaps at a waiting place or a gathering, but their identities remain deliberately obscured.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances abstraction with figuration. The figures are reduced to essential silhouettes and planar shapes, their coats and hats suggested through angular geometry and softened contours. There is a subtle architectural structure anchoring the composition, with vertical elements lending a sense of stillness and gravitas.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by muted greys, smoky charcoals, warm browns, and off-whites, punctuated by accents of crimson, burnt sienna, and soft rose. These warmer notes glow subtly from the centre, creating a quiet internal luminosity that draws the viewer inward. The tonal contrasts between light and dark figures create rhythm and spatial depth while maintaining an atmospheric cohesion.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, combining thin washes with dry, textured passages. Edges dissolve and re-emerge, allowing forms to hover between presence and absence. Vertical strokes emphasise the standing figures, while softer blended areas create a sense of movement and ambiguity. This interplay between structure and dissolution is characteristic of mid-century abstraction, lending the painting both emotional resonance and formal sophistication.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey painted wood frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a white mark to the bottom right corner of the outer frame but this does not detract from the overall composition.

  • Chromatic Constellation

    Chromatic Constellation

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and energetic abstract composition where colour, movement, and gesture converge in a dynamic visual dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The surface is alive with bold, biomorphic forms and spontaneous splashes that seem to hover and collide within an expansive field of pale cerulean blue. Large organic shapes in saturated green, deep ultramarine, mustard yellow, and inky black anchor the composition, while vivid red splatters and fine white linear streaks cut across the canvas like bursts of energy or fleeting trajectories.

    At the heart of the painting, a luminous circular yellow form radiates warmth and presence, acting as both focal point and counterbalance to the surrounding asymmetrical shapes. The artist masterfully juxtaposes areas of dense opacity with translucent washes, creating depth and rhythm. Smaller droplets of silver-grey and scattered pigment add a sense of cosmic randomness, enhancing the impression of movement and spontaneity.

    The brushwork ranges from smooth, deliberate blocks of colour to expressive drips, splashes, and flicked paint which are hallmarks of Abstract Expressionist technique. Thick, gestural strokes coexist with fluid pours and delicate splatters, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. The layering of pigment creates subtle textures and visual tension, inviting the viewer to explore the painting’s surface and uncover new relationships between form and colour.

    Overall, the painting evokes a sense of joyful immediacy and intuitive creation. It is an orchestration of colour and gesture that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Coast

    Still Coast

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and meditative mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the hushed stillness of an estuary unfolding beneath a pale, overcast sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding shoreline curves gently through the composition, guiding the eye toward distant headlands softened by atmospheric haze. On the right, a cluster of slender, darkened trees rises from the embankment, their vertical forms providing a striking counterpoint to the broad, horizontal calm of the water and shoreline. The scene feels suspended in a moment of winter quiet: timeless, contemplative, and deeply serene.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has reduced the landscape to essential forms and tonal relationships. The composition balances abstraction with recognisable geography, allowing negative space and subtle tonal shifts to carry emotional weight. The muted palette – comprising soft greys, chalky whites, warm taupes, and earthy browns – enhances the sense of stillness, evoking coastal light diffused through cloud and mist.

    The brushwork is confident, with broad, sweeping strokes used to suggest water, sand, and sky. Areas of dry brush and lightly textured paint create gentle variation across the surface, while darker, more defined strokes anchor the composition and introduce structure. This interplay between softness and structure reflects the modernist pursuit of mood and form over literal detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary frame finished in a muted champagne-silver tone. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

    The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a well-suited champagne frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Grove in Repose

    Grove in Repose

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil  in 1946 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

    Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

    The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

  • Hushed Trees

    Hushed Trees

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a quiet grove of slender trees emerging through a veil of winter haze, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three distinct trunks: one cool blue, one pale ivory, and one warm reddish-brown – stand gently apart, their forms softened by the atmospheric frost and mist that envelop the scene. The composition conveys a sense of calm solitude, as if the landscape itself has fallen into a moment of suspended breath.

    Rendered in a restrained, poetic palette of icy blues, muted lavenders, silvery greys, and mossy greens, the painting reflects mood and abstraction over strict realism. The background dissolves into layered washes of colour, suggesting distant forms and frozen ground without overt definition.

    The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork, combining thin, translucent layers with areas of thicker impasto. Vertical strokes elongate the trees, lending them a graceful, almost calligraphic presence, while scumbled textures and softly blended passages create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

    Overall, the work achieves a delicate balance between representation and abstraction, evoking the emotional resonance of a winter landscape rather than its precise physical details.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Lily of the Valley & Jug

    Lily of the Valley & Jug

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined contemporary still life that presents a carefully orchestrated arrangement of everyday forms rendered with clarity and restraint, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre rests a tall ceramic jug in warm earthy tones of chocolate brown and muted taupe, its simplified silhouette outlined in confident dark contours. Beside it lies a single slice of pale green fruit, its circular form offering a gentle counterpoint to the vertical presence of the vessel.

    In the foreground, a sprig of lily of the valley stretches gracefully across a bold orange rectangular dish. The delicate white blossoms and rich green leaves introduce an organic softness, their gentle curves and natural rhythm contrasting beautifully with the structured geometry of the surrounding objects. Behind them, subtle blocks of beige, cream, and soft grey form a quiet architectural backdrop, suggesting interior space without distraction.

    Stylistically, the painting draws on contemporary modernist sensibilities, where representation is simplified and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. The composition balances geometry and nature, solidity and delicacy, creating a sense of stillness and introspection. The palette is restrained yet expressive – warm neutrals, earthy browns, and muted greens punctuated by the confident accent of yellow – evoking both warmth and compositional clarity.

    The brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Clean edges and defined contours reinforce the structural integrity of each object, while subtle tonal shifts within the surfaces add depth and quiet dimensionality. The result is a refined and contemplative work, celebrating the quiet beauty found in simple arrangements and everyday objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with gently recessed inner mouldings and a delicate carved detail that runs along the inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

  • Road Through Soft Hills

    Road Through Soft Hills

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a quiet countryside moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a road that winds gently through rolling hills toward distant blue-grey mountains. Slender cypress trees punctuate the scene, their vertical forms creating a calm rhythm against the open sky. Small, loosely suggested figures along the road lend a subtle sense of scale and movement, reinforcing the painting’s tranquil, unhurried mood.

    Executed in a modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad shapes and planes, prioritising atmosphere and harmony over detail. The palette is soft and restrained: fresh greens and olive tones in the hills, warm browns and muted earth colours in the land, and cool blue-greys in the distant mountains. The sky is rendered in pale, airy blues with gentle cloud forms, lending the composition an overall lightness and sense of calm.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible strokes that softly blend rather than sharply define forms. The paint is applied with confidence, allowing texture to emerge subtly across the surface. This relaxed handling enhances the painting’s atmospheric quality.

  • Light Through the Arches

    Light Through the Arches

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An  atmospheric  interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

    The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting.  The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

    Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail. Architectural forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing light and spatial rhythm to guide the eye inward. The palette is warm and restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep umbers, and muted blues, offset by soft creams and browns that suggest sunlight filtering through the arched openings.

    The brushwork is expressive and layered, with confident, textured strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Thicker applications of paint define the arches and furniture, while looser, more gestural passages dissolve into shadow, creating depth and atmosphere. The result is a quietly evocative work that captures both the intimacy and timeless elegance of an interior dining space suspended in stillness.

  • Houses by the Sea

    Houses by the Sea

    £485

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

    The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Harbour at Rest

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

    Passing Light (Reserved)

    £455

    Available

    RESERVED UNTIL 08/05/2026.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

    There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

    The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Open Window

    The Open Window

    £490

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

    Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

    A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Mountain View

    Still Life with Mountain View

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape,  painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

    Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
